Murcott Road level crossing This heavy gate is one of two used to span Murcott Road where the Bicester Military Railway crosses.  Although the track is all in place, it is now practically disused.  The unusual single span gates were constructed by the GWR in its Reading Signalling Works when the line was built early in WW2.
